The 310-PP series is designed for use on an axle group with a single height control
valve suspension system. Within this series, there are different products designed for
different axle group configuraons. Before installaon, make sure you have the
proper gauge for your applicaon:

The 310 Series gauge comes in a protecve box with a mounng bracket and
hardware. The following steps will walk you through how to correctly mount and
install the scale. Be sure to choose a locaon that is easily accessible and safe from
potenal damage (forkli posts, re caps, etc.)
DO NOT mount the scale directly to the chassis or any other main
beam unless it is approved by the vehicle manufacturer. Doing so
may void the warranty with the vehicle manufacturer.

1
Choose a locaon to mount the
scale that is easily accessible and
safe from potenal damage (forkli
posts, re caps, etc.). Mount the
bracket in the chosen locaon using
two bolts to secure it. Install the
gauge box to the bracket using
supplied hardware.
SCALE INSTALLATION
Make sure to use BOTH supplied mounng bolts to secure the
bracket to the vehicle. Using only one bolt can result in a cracked
bracket and the scale falling off the vehicle.

Install a new 1/4” air line and fing
into the remaining port on the tee.
Remove the suspension air line fing from the top of one of the air bags.
Insert a street tee fing into the top of the air bag that matches the thread
size of the vehicle suspension. Reinstall the suspension air line and fing into
the street tee. For more informaon on the parts needed for air line
installaon, see page 4.

1: The vehicle must be fully loaded. For best results, calibrate with a loaded
weight within 1500lbs or 750kgs of your typical axle group weight (DO NOT
calibrate empty!)
2: Using a cerfied in-ground scale, obtain a loaded weight for the axle group
aached to the gauge.
3: Park on a level surface. Shi the transmission to neutral and set the parking
brakes.
4: Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movement.
5: Release the parking brakes.
6: Make sure the Height Control Valve (HCV) has fully inflated the air bags. If
needed, briefly dump the air from the suspension and allow the HCV to refill
the system.
7: Pull the red push/pull valve so that it is in the fully open posion.
8: Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the calibraon screw on the dial face unl
the gauge matches the cerfied axle group weight.

4: Pull the red push/pull valve so that it is in the fully open posion. View the

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Errac / Inaccurate
Weight Readings
The vehicle is not parked on
a level surface
Park on level concrete ground.
Parking on sloped or banked
surfaces will cause the vehicle weight distribuon to shi
between the axle groups. Addionally,
if one or more of the
vehicle’s wheels are in a pothole, that could result in addional
pressure or torque on the suspension air bags. This will cause the
suspension to have a different air pressure than what is normally
needed to hold up the given weight.
The vehicle’s brakes are on
Release the parking brakes when weighing and/or calibrang.
When the vehicle brakes are set, they could apply addional
pressure or torque on the suspension air bags. This will cause the
suspension to have a different air pressure than what is normally
needed to hold up the given weight.
There is a significant air leak
in the suspension system
Check air lines for leaks. Having a leak could cause the
HCV to
refill the suspension at regular intervals to maintain the vehicle’s
ride height. If there is a significant leak, the gauge display will
slowly decrease in value and then quickly increase in value when
the HCV refills the suspension system.
The Height Control Valve
(HCV) is malfunconing or
broken
If the HCV is not funconing correctly, the air pressure applied to
the suspension system could be inconsistent and/or errac. To
test for an HCV problem, acquire a weight reading from the Right
Weigh gauge and write it down (refer to gauge operang
instrucons for proper procedure). Drive the vehicle around the
block and return to the same locaon. Acquire a second reading
from the Right Weigh gauge. If the two readings are significantly
different, then the HCV might be malfunconing.
